Joke of the Year

A good Oppo sent this over in the email

A tourist visiting Baghdad walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, an Expat walked in and said to the shopkeeper, 'I'll take a Psd monkey please.'

The shopkeeper nodded, went over to the cage at the side of the shop and took out a monkey. He fit it with a collar and leash, handed it to the customer saying, 'That'll be £ 5,000.' The Expat paid and walked out with his monkey.

Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said 'That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred pounds. Why did it cost so much?' The shopkeeper answered, 'Ah, that monkey is a qualified CP operator, it can write an S.I.R., and is certified in defensive driving- well worth the money.'

The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. 'That ones even more expensive! £ 10,000! What does it do?' 'Oh, that one's a PSD instructing monkey, it can instruct other monkeys in Basic Firearms Skills, Counter terrorism Training, Physical Training, Small unit tactics and vehicle maintenance, and even type. All the really useful stuff,' said the shopkeeper.

The tourist turned and saw another monkey, with the price tag of £ 15,000. 'That one must be even better? What does it do?'
That one is an SSM monkey, he is required to know everything about anything, be there yesterday, and then duplicate the information 12 times before anyone is happy he has it right, relay the same information to 20 different departments, write reports about everything that the old monkeys cant see anymore, be in 5 different places at once, get yelled at by everyone who passes by, and takes the blame for everything all the other monkeys do wrong.'

The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a fourth monkey in a cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read £50,000. He gasped to the shopkeeper, 'That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?'

The shopkeeper replied, 'Well, I haven't actually seen it do anything yet, but it says it's from Hereford!'
